the missing tooth

yes, lela has lost yet another tooth but unlike the others this one has gone missing. she was eating chex mix with lacey when all of a sudden she notice that something wasn't right...her tooth was gone. she couldn't figure out what happened and then came to the conclusion she swallowed it. she wrote a letter to the tooth fairy explaining that she thought she swallowed her tooth and would she please leave her some money anyways even though there was no tooth. i'll tell you that tooth fairy is something else she did it! hey, you think if i write her she'll leave me some money, too?

even after 20 years

since graduating from high school a lot people never change, I've decided.

kevin's reunion was interesting to say the least. i actually had a good time even though i headed up to our room somewhere after 11:00 pm. from what i was told the party hadn't even started at that point. for me it had! i go to bed somewhere between 8:00 pm and 9:00 pm on a daily basis, so 11:00 for me was extremely late.

i'm glad we went despite i only knew a handful of people. it's interesting to hear what others are doing, how they look, where they live, etc. i always find it fascinating to hear other people's stories and how they got to where they are now. you know that's what life is about...it's a journey.

i can't wait for the next reunion to see where these same people are and what they are doing next.

parrrrrttttty!

yes, we had a party this morning at jumpin' jellybeans for lacey. finally, she had a real birthday party with her buddies. she was so excited! and boy did she have a blast! i'm exhausted as i'm writing and so wishing for a nap. the house is completely quiet. the girls went to aunt kim's straight after the party, so i truly wish i could take advantage of the fact we have a house with no children. but as you might have guessed there is always something going on and today is no exception. later this evening, we are headed to kevin's 20th high school reunion. yippee! (yes, that is sarcasm you sense.) i'm sure it will be fun, well at least from the perspective that i'm sure i'll have something to blog about tomorrow. i always enjoy that....

i'm still laughing.

every time i start thinking about lacey i can't help but laugh. today at school they did a picture entitled "happy tooth." on the paper she had to cut out the shape of a tooth and then she was suppose to decorate the tooth with "stuff" that was good for your teeth from magazines. her teachers had warned me that i was gonna die laughing when i saw her page. she had decorated it with a "surprise." little did i realize what was in store for me....i open up her page to find two separate pictures of...yes, maxi pads? now how funny is that!

what a day already

and its not even 7:00 am.

yes, i so learned my lesson yesterday. i guess you could say the hard way so to speak. i took lacey to the doctor for her well check appointment. she was such a trooper, and i'm so proud of her. not only did she have to get four separate shots i also had them throw in a flu vaccination as well, which ended up being five pokes in the legs. yes, i'm a horrible mom and i will never ever do that again to anyone.

sometime last night poor little thing started to run a fever and began throwing up. she was so good about it and seemed to handle it in stride. (lela on the other hand that would have been a totally different story all together.) it broke my heart and i couldn't help but wonder if i had done it to her with all those shots.

as i'm typing she is sleeping and appears to have no fever at the moment. i'm going with the assumption that having all those viruses injected into your body probably would cause some type of reaction. and considering she has never had a flu shot in her life....hum? i just have to wonder?

happy 9th anniversary

yes, today is mine and kevin's anniversary - nine years to be exact. i truly can't believe it! i so wish i could tell you that we had this wonderful romantic get-away planned, but come on that only happens in the movies, right? well, at least for me it does anyways. no, today will be spent taking lacey to the doctor for her well check visit and then the girls have choir tonight along with wednesday night supper. yes, it's basically a typical day around the daniell house.

lacey was suppose to have her well check visit last week, but somehow there was a miscommunication between me and the doctor's office. i thought they told me one time when in actuality they told me another. so, they ended up cancelling my appointment. when i went reschedule this was the first available day and i jumped at it. i so wanted to get it over with because from what i can remember lacey will probably be getting about three/four shots this morning. you know that will make for a great day! not! i so have a feeling its gonna be a long day...

checking in...

thought i would check in with everyone. sorry i've been a little delinquent with my posting this week. i've been a little busy at the preschool with the fall consignment sale. we have a consignment sale twice a year - once in the fall and then again in the spring. it's definitely hard work but its very rewarding for the school, the church and the community. i feel very blessed to be such a group of hard working moms. but considering i was up there four out of five days, my week was pretty much shot before it even got going good.

lela's school celebrated grandparents' week this week. all the grandparents were invited to come have lunch with their grandchildren. it was pretty special i thought. i attended a few of the lunches making my pictures for the yearbook. one little girl had the pleasure of having her mother, grandfather and great grandmother all there. how cool was that - three generations of family!

i always thought the bigger the girls got the less busy i would be. boy, was i wrong! it seems everytime i turn around i've gotten myself into something else. next week i'll spend three
days at lela's school helping her teacher as well as the art teacher. today, we are all going to the sharpsburg festival to help the pta booth sell discount cards and spiritwear. i'm just hoping the rain holds off till where done this afternoon.
